GOP Uses Budget Leverage to Fund ICE as DHS Shutdown Persists
TL;DR Summary
House Republicans used the budget resolution to unlock a party-line package potentially funding up to $75 billion for ICE and Border Patrol, edging toward ending the DHS shutdown. The effort dragged on as farm-bill concessions and internal GOP rifts surfaced, but a side deal decoupled an ethanol issue (E15) from the farm bill, enabling a pathway to year-round E15 and a forthcoming reconciliation bill later this year; Trump has urged final action by June 1.
